I guess I had better just do the same. The trouble is, as soon as a pleasant and informative discussion gets going, he comes in with these scornful and insulting slurs, and it's hard for someone not to answer him. According to the Confucian maxim, "The inferior person is familiar but not friendly; the superior person is friendly, but not familiar." Slider is by that measure the among the most inferior persons I have ever encountered in my life. I don't have anyone else on ignore right now, but I think I will imitate you. At one point I tried to get HIM to put me on ignore so he wouldn't think to write to me. Now, back to Strictly Drilling and Oil Field Services: The truly astonishing thing about these stocks is the rapidity with which they respond to, and exaggerate, price swings. A year ago there was a great clamor to recruit new oilfield and gas field workers; now everything is in the doldrums. It's like an engine with no flywheel.
